Must everyone die? After a poisoning mystery, only three people remain in the castle on the edge of town: the sensitive, timid elder sister Constance; the overindulged younger sister Mary Katherine (Merricat); and the frail, deranged uncle Julian. Who exactly is the killer? To what end? And what kind of strange fate will these three sole survivors act out?
